Hey Team …. just wanted to jump on and give you my initial impression of my new kicks, the Superior from Altra Zero Drop Shoes. Man these are awesome !!! How’s that for a review.
The Superior is Altra’s latest super lightweight trail runner and ….. man are they light. From the moment you slip these babies on your feet you know that you are in for a special running experience. Based on Altra’s famous zero drop profile the Superiors are low flat and very very fast. As for grip they are as good as their predecessor the “Lone Peak” and of course the tail rudder is still there which gives me good flashback feelings to the late 70’s. One of the real key features of this shoe is the removable rockplate and innersole which makes the shoe very customisable to your own preference and to the trail you are on that day. It take only a few seconds to rip out the rock plate and you are left with a super flexible and comfortable shoe. Throw the plate back in and you can tackle even the knarliest and rocky trail. On top of all this you have the famous Altra wide and roomy “foot shaped” toe box.
I have run this shoe over 8 laps of The Coach Jeff test track and it’s performance amazed me. It grips, It drains water well and never felt like letting me down. My test track is a 4k loop and has sand, rocky climbs, a water crossing with a very muddy exit and open flat fire trail
The Coach gives this shoe a 10/10 for comfort, fit and performance.
